Keys to the Demon Prison

The final book in the Fablehaven series, this came out just before the Romgi’s birthday and was one of his presents from me. We’ve both really enjoyed the series and I know the Romgi was glad when finals were over and he had free time to relax and finally read.
Apparently my memory isn’t as good as the Romgi’s – or else we can blame the fact that I’d read almost 70 books since finishing the fourth Fablehaven book – but I honestly had no idea what was important to know before starting the final book. Luckily, the Romgi had just finished it and gave me a quick refresher. And the author did a good job of helping readers remember the important story lines.
I absolutely loved Keys to the Demon Prison. It was a fun, captivating, visual book that I almost wanted to take my time reading because I didn’t want it to end. Of course, with all the action, I wanted to read quickly…either way, I really enjoyed it. I still recommend the entire series. It’s written for a younger audience than the Harry Potter books, and, if it’s possible, feels more “magic-y” to me. But that’s just my opinion. If you want to get a feel for the author without reading the whole series, try The Candy Shop War, which is incredibly fun as well.
I mean it! Go read something!
I’ve been meaning to read this, I just haven’t done it yet. I loved the Fablehaven series, and almost don’t want to read this book because I don’t want it to be over! I know what you mean though, about the book feeling more magic-y than Harry Potter. I completely agree. I can’t wait to grab this book and read it!
